imported to the rest of the DoD. The 

DFO will adjourn the closed session. 

The Board will begin in closed session 

on February 7 from 9:20 a.m. to 10:20 

a.m. in Room M2 of the Pentagon 

Library Conference Center. The DFO 

will begin the closed session followed 

by a welcome by Board Chair. The 

Board will receive a classified 

discussion on the ‘‘Replicator’’ Initiative 

from Hon. Kathleen Hicks, Deputy 

Secretary of Defense; Ms. Aditi Kumar, 

Deputy Director for Strategy, Policy, and 

National Security Partnerships at 

Defense Innovation Unit; and Ms. Joy 

Shanaberger, Senior Advisor to the 

Deputy Secretary of Defense. This

Meeting-February-2024/. 

Meeting Accessibility: In accordance 

with 5 U.S.C. 1009(d) and 41 CFR 102– 

3.155, it is hereby determined that the 

February 6–7 meeting of the Board will 

include classified information and other 

matters covered by 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1) 

and that, accordingly, portions of the 

meeting will be closed to the public. 

This determination is based on the 

consideration that it is expected that 

discussions throughout the closed 

portions will involve classified matters 

of national security. Such classified 

material is so intertwined with the 

unclassified material that it cannot 

reasonably be segregated into separate 

discussions without defeating the 

effectiveness and meaning of these 

portions of the meeting. To permit these 

portions of the meeting to be open to the 

public would preclude discussion of 

such matters and would greatly 

diminish the ultimate utility of the 

Board’s findings and recommendations 

to the Secretary of Defense and the 

Deputy Secretary of Defense. Pursuant 

to 5 U.S.C. 1009(a)(1) and 41 CFR 102– 

3.140, the portion of the meeting on 

February 7 from 9 a.m. to 11:40 a.m. is 

open to the public virtually. Persons 

desiring to attend the public sessions 

are required to register. To attend the 

public sessions, submit your name, 

affiliation/organization, telephone 

number, and email contact information 

to the Board at 

osd.pentagon.odam.mbx.defensebusiness-board@mail.mil. Requests to 

attend the public sessions must be 

received no later than 12 p.m. on 

Monday, February 5, 2024. Upon receipt 

of this information, the Board will 

provide further instructions for virtually 

attending the meeting. 

Written Comments and Statements: 

Pursuant to 41 CFR 102–3.105(j) and 

102–3.140 and 5 U.S.C. 1009(a)(3) of the 

FACA, the public or interested 

organizations may submit written 

comments or statements to the Board in 

response to the stated agenda of the 

meeting or regarding the Board’s 

mission in general. Written comments 

or statements should be submitted to 

Ms. Cara Allison Marshall, the DFO, via 

electronic mail (the preferred mode of 

submission) at the address listed in the 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT

section. Each page of the comment or 

statement must include the author’s 

name, title or affiliation, address, and 

daytime phone number. The DFO must 

receive written comments or statements 

submitted in response to the agenda set 

forth in this notice by 12 p.m. on 

Monday, February 5, 2024, to be 

considered by the Board. The DFO will 

review all timely submitted written 

comments or statements with the Board 

Chair and ensure the comments are 

provided to all members of the Board 

before the meeting. Written comments 

or statements received after this date 

may not be provided to the Board until 

its next scheduled meeting. Please note 

that all submitted comments and 

statements will be treated as public 

documents and will be made available 

for public inspection, including, but not 

limited to, being posted on the Board’s

Title of Collection: Foreign Institution 

Reporting Requirements under the 

CARES Act. 

OMB Control Number: 1845–NEW. 

Type of Review: New ICR. 

Respondents/Affected Public: State, 

Local, and Tribal Governments; Private 

Sector. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 104. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 52. 

Abstract: The Department of 

Education (the Department) is 

requesting a new information collection, 

1845–NEW, Foreign Institution 

Reporting Requirements under the 

CARES Act, be made available for full 

clearance with public comment. Section 

3510(a) of the CARES Act, Public Law 

116–136 (March 27, 2020), authorized 

the Secretary of Education (Secretary) to 

permit a foreign institution, in the case 

of a public health emergency, major 

disaster or emergency, or national 

emergency declared by the applicable 

government authorities in the country in 

which the foreign institution is located, 

to provide any part of an otherwise 

eligible program to be offered via 

distance education for the duration of 

such emergency or disaster and the 

following payment period for purposes 

of title IV of the Higher Education Act 

of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1070 et seq.). 

Additionally, under section 3510(d) of 

the CARES Act, the Secretary may allow 

a foreign institution to enter into a 

written arrangement with an institution 

of higher education located in the 

United States that participates in the 

Federal Direct Loan Program under part 

D of title IV of the Higher Education Act 

of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1087a et seq.) for the 

purpose of allowing a student of the 

foreign institution who is a borrower of 

a loan made under such part to take 

courses from the institution of higher 

education located in the United States. 

The CARES Act requires foreign 

institutions that use either type of 

authority described above to report such 

use to the Secretary. Institutions are 

required to report use of either distance 

education or written arrangements to 

the Department no later than 30 days 

after it begins offering coursework 

online to Direct Loan recipients. The 

Department must also collect specific 

information from a school that requests 

a waiver in order to determine if the 

school is eligible to receive the waiver. 

On May 12, 2020, Federal Student Aid, 

an Office of the Department, notified 

foreign institutions of the new authority 

and requested that any foreign 

institution who wished to utilize this 

new authority to respond with 

information specified in the email. This 

information collection was discontinued 

following the discontinuation of the 

national COVID–19 emergency status. 

However, due to other global situations 

we are now requesting a new collection 

to allow for the on-going use of the 

CARES Act waiver.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

National Nuclear Security 

Administration 

Record of Decision for the Final SiteWide Environmental Impact Statement 

for Continued Operation of the 

Lawrence Livermore National 

Laboratory 

AGENCY: National Nuclear Security 

Administration, Department of Energy. 

ACTION: Record of decision. 

SUMMARY: The National Nuclear 

Security Administration (NNSA), a 

semi-autonomous agency within the 

U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), is 

issuing this Record of Decision (ROD) 

for the Final Site-Wide Environmental 

Impact Statement (SWEIS) for 

Continued Operation of the Lawrence 

Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) 

in California (Final LLNL SWEIS) (DOE/ 

EIS–0547). NNSA prepared the Final 

LLNL SWEIS to analyze the potential 

environmental impacts associated with 

reasonable alternatives for continuing 

LLNL operations and foreseeable new 

and/or modified operations and 

facilities for approximately the next 15 

years. The SWEIS analyzes two 

alternatives: No-Action Alternative and 

Proposed Action. In this ROD, NNSA 

announces its decision to implement the 

Proposed Action. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

further information on this ROD or the 

LLNL SWEIS, contact: Thomas Grim, 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA) Document Manager, National 

Nuclear Security Administration, 

Livermore Field Office, P.O. Box 808, 

Livermore, CA 94551; via email at 

LLNLSWEIS@nnsa.doe.gov, or by phone 

at (833)778–0508. This ROD, the LLNL 

SWEIS, and related NEPA documents 

are available at www.energy.gov/nnsa/ 

nnsa-nepa-reading-room. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The NNSA is responsible for meeting 

the national security requirements 

established by the President and 

Congress to maintain and enhance the 

safety, reliability, and performance of 

the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile. The 

continued operation of LLNL is critical 

to NNSA’s Stockpile Stewardship and 

Management Program, to prevent the 

spread and use of nuclear weapons 

worldwide, and to many other areas that 

may impact national security and global 

stability (50 U.S.C. 2521). 

LLNL is a federally funded research 

and development center that conducts 

research for the U.S. Government in 

accordance with 48 CFR 35.017. LLNL 

has been in existence since 1952, 

employs approximately 8,000 people 

(employees and contractors), and has a 

current annual budget of approximately 

$3 billion. 

LLNL consists of two federally owned 

sites: an 821-acre site in Livermore, 

California (Livermore Site), and a 7,000- 

acre experimental test site (Site 300) 

southeast of the Livermore Site between 

Livermore and Tracy, California. Most 

LLNL operations are located at the 

Livermore Site, which is situated about 

50 miles east of San Francisco in 

southeastern Alameda County. Site 300 

is primarily a test site for high 

explosives and non-nuclear weapons 

components; it is located about 15 miles 

southeast of Livermore in the hills of the 

Diablo Range. LLNL’s primary 

responsibility is ensuring the safety, 

reliability, and performance of the 

nation’s nuclear weapons stockpile. 

However, LLNL’s mission is broader 

than stockpile stewardship, as dangers 

ranging from nuclear proliferation and 

terrorism to biosecurity and climate 

change threaten national security and 

global stability. More than eighteen (18) 

years have passed since the publication 

of the 2005 Final Site-wide 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

Continued Operation of Lawrence 

Livermore National Laboratory and 

Supplemental Stockpile Stewardship 

and Management Programmatic 

Environmental Impact Statement (2005 

LLNL SWEIS). Because of proposed 

plans for new facilities, demolition of 

older facilities, enhanced and 

modernized site utilities projects, as 

well as needed modifications/upgrades 

of existing facilities to ensure ongoing 

safe operations, NNSA determined that 

it was appropriate to update the 

previous 2005 LLNL SWEIS analysis. 

Under the No-Action Alternative, 

NNSA would continue current facility 

operations throughout LLNL in support 

of assigned missions. The No-Action
